I run 12.04 as a Free Cloud Desktop on AWS EC2 all constantly on the Free Tier Micro instance model. I have run Ubuntu Virtual Cloud Desktops on EC2 for years using The FreeNX software. NX Web Companion (for Browser enabled) and NX local client for machines where I can install the software instead of run the java piece. Also, added an RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) for easier Windows access.

A little configuration work but easy once you understand it. It works well, though the web enablement is a little clunky. I am trying to find a better model on this post:
